Pseudo model Jeana Ho Pui Yu earlier worked on an intimate scene with film new comer Justin Cheung Kin Sing. In the story Cheung Kin Sing gropes Jeana's breasts. Parkman Cheung came to the set to keep an eye on his girlfriend, which had Cheung Kin Sing sweating bullets. Jeana complained, "He got me all wet!"

Jeana earlier worked on the new film DUE WEST OUR SEX JOURNEY (YUT LO HEUNG SAI) and gave a wild performance. She not only generously disrobed in front of the camera but also had many intimate scenes with film new comer Cheung Kin Sing, even when Cheung Kin Sing grabbed her breasts she did not act up. She was very professional.

In the story when Cheung Kin Sing grabbed Jeana, something did not feel right. Jeana boldly said, "Right, I just had an enlargement." Cheung Kin Sing was stunned. Due to the nature of the scene Jeana's boyfriend Parkman Cheung took time to visit the set. After the scene Jeana quickly left the set with her boyfriend.

Jeana revealed that her co-star Cheung Kin Sing was more nervous than she was. "The crew all said that he has gotten very familiar with the shoot, but for some reason with me that day he was very nervous. His hands were sweaty and got my chest all wet." With her breast enlargement, Jeana said that she struggled with playing a "fake ball person". "I don't like the title of fake ball person, but I thought the story was pretty interesting. So I decided to give it a shot."

Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi, Xiao Shenyang and Zhao Benshan starred in the new film THE LION ROARS 2 (HOR TUNG SI HAU 2), which will soon open. This time Zhao Benshan joined LION because of Cheung Pak Chi, whose sincerity made Zhao Benshan work with her for no salary. She even admitted that his addition was the biggest gift to the film. "Teacher Zhao is highly respected but treats everyone very well. His guest starring is our film's greatest honor! I was particularly happy and looking forward to it. At the beginning I had a little pressure, but as soon as we took our marks I wasn't nervous anymore. We didn't need to rehearse at all as I got into character right away."

They got along famously as they often sat and chatted. Zhao Benshan also had scenes with his protege Xiao Shenyang.

The Chapman To Man Jat starred new film VULGARIA (DAI JOOK HEI KET) just received the Puchon Fantastic Film Festival Best Asian Film Award. Ah Jat yesterday was asked why he asked DaDa Chen Jing to perform. He said, "This is the age of pseudo models, I don't have any reason not to add this element into it." The film took only 12 days to shoot, he joked that if DaDa did not keep having bad takes it would have wrapped in 8
days. In the film he and DaDa had many intimate scenes but they were all done by positioning. He joked, "Who would dare, how would I explain that."

DIVA is Joey Yung Cho Yi's first big screen representative work. In the story a music diva falls for a blind hunk. Coincidentally Joey earlier was revealed to be in love with Wilfred Lau Ho Lung. When asked whether the difference in wealth and position would affect this budding romance, Joey said that she did not mind such matter. Life and movies were different. She would not look at whether his position was different. The focus would be on both liking each other.

Already in music for 12 years, Yung Cho Yi this year finally got the chance to make a big screen representative work DIVA. Although due to scheduling conflict she was unable to attend the Udine Film Festival she was fortunately enough to appear at the Shanghai Film Festival and the Hong Kong Summer International Film Festival. Yet Joey had a dream of this movie bringing her to the red carpets of different film festivals.

Joey in the film played a music diva, much like in real life. In the film she fell in love with Hu Ge who lost his sight to a diving practice accident. Thus the Chapman To Man Jat played manager scolded her with foul language and brought her to tears. She even angrily roared, "This job of mine is just singing, am I not a human being?"

Used to living a quiet and lonely life, Hu Ge did not want Joey to bring him into the glitz and glamor as he directly told Joey, "You don't mess with my life, go and be your star!" They had a pool scene, in which Joey wanted to remind Hu Ge of his past diving glory. Yet Hu Ge angrily scolded, "No one would harm me for being blind, why did you bring me back to this water world!"

Mag Lam Yun Tung in the film DIVA gave her first on screen kiss. In it she and her on screen boyfriend Carlos Chan Ka Lok had many bed scenes. They even had a passionate kiss on the street, drastically different from her usual nice girl image.

Lam Yun Tung said that the set was decorated like her room so it was very familiar, the difference was the addition of a guy. Lam Yun Tung was not resistant to intimate scenes. "I wasn't embarrassed. No one should over think it. Instead the feeling is like a pair of children playing on the bed, even more flavorful than the passion that everyone is looking for."

At the time the road wasn't blocked and a car could drive by at any time." Lam Yun Tung gladly accepted her "first time" being taken. She felt that the kiss was not the hardest part but kissing in front of so many. It felt like a
performance.
